as one of the organizing Committee Members and among others also joined the

Specialist Clinic within the Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johore Bahru.
Career with the Government (1991) At the Dental
Specialist Clinic, Dr Joon worked under the leadership of Dato' Dr Tan Nam Hoo
and Dr Chen Siew Lian. This tenure was a very good exposure in both restorative
treatments as well as emergency maxillo facial treatments. Here she had
extensive hands on experience in treating accident victims and also in
specialised treatments such treating maxillo facial injuries.
In
1993 Dr Joon was offered the position of Dental Surgeon in charge of the Tangkak
sub-district. This position was based in the Tangkak Hospital's Dental Clinic
where Dr Joon was to manage the day-to-day operations. There were a total of 12
direct staff members and the clinic managed preventive treatments in more than
30 schools in the sub-district.
She was also involved in the
treatment via mobile operations in rural areas and aboriginal (Perkampungan
Orang Asli) villages in the Tangkak area.
The management exposure
received in this attachment proved very valuable during the years to come while
she embarked on private practice.

transferred to the Kluang Hospital's Dental Clinic in 1995 and was attached
there until her leaving the government service in 1997.

2003. She joined Joon Dental Clinic as a founding partner.
The
partners of Joon Dental Clinic feel that her management experience and exposure
in a variety of types of treatments and working environment would benefit our
patients very much in her being able to make good judgment on the choices of
treatment that best fits a situation.
The inception of Joon Dental
Clinic is a humble start of a journey ...
